Rangers striker plans to hit six
Gers striker wants Pittodrie goal glut
Published:
RANGERS striker Jean-Claude Darcheville says they can score six goals against Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Thursday.
Rangers have to beat Aberdeen by a handsome margin to pip Celtic for the SPL title if their Old Firm rivals overcome Dundee United at Tannadice on the same night.
Celtic go into the last day four goals better off than Rangers.
It means a 1-0 win at Tannadice would leave Rangers needing to destroy Aberdenn 6-0 to take the title.
A favourable result from Craig Levein’s men – combined with victory at Pittodrie – is now realistically Rangers’ best hope of claiming the silverware.
But Darcheville refused to rule out a glut of goals if the championship does go down to goal difference rather than points.
“Anything is possible in football,” he said.
“Maybe we can score five or six goals - or maybe we will only score one. Anything is possible.”
Asked whether United are a good enough team to do Rangers a massive favour, Darcheville admitted: “I think so.
“When we played Dundee United, we drew 2-2 in Glasgow so maybe they can have the same performance against Celtic.”
Darcheville netted twice as Rangers beat St Mirren 3-0 at Love Street last night to at least take the title race to the wire.
Rangers defied all the odds to clinch the title on the last day of the season three years ago, even though Celtic were hot favourites for the trophy.
No-one in the Ibrox dressing room has spoken to Darcheville about the events of that dramatic afternoon at Easter Road – and he insists it is more important for Rangers to do their talking on the pitch instead.
“It was very important to win the game against St Mirren,” he said.
“Now everyone is looking to the game on Thursday night. After the game on Saturday at Motherwell, the team lost two massive points.
“Now we have to go to Aberdeen and win the game.”
